Apart from DL's interview, there's not much going on this morning (visibly, at least).

DL:

SS is "doing things the big company way", whereas "retail (ie. PIs) just wants instant adenalin".

Re Kimmeridge, we're looking at a "very, very significant play for the UK" and "really good recoveries".

Well done!

Q4 like-for-like revenues up 1.2%.

Trading over the fourth quarter has seen an improvement due to a combination of the continued effectiveness of our strategy and outperformance of our market. As a result, the Board now expects adjusted pre-tax profits for the year ended 29 September 2018 will be slightly ahead of the top end of the current range of market expectations(2) .

"... we continue to make good progress with our expansion into the commercial segment of the UK tile market which will be an important source of future growth for the Group."

Mahdi’s candidacy won the unprecedented support of both the Sairoon alliance of Moqtada al-Sadr and the Fateh bloc of Hadi al-Ameri...

SULAIMANIYA, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraq’s parliament on Tuesday elected as president Kurdish politician Barham Salih, who immediately named Shi’ite Adel Abdul Mahdi prime minister-designate, ending months of deadlock after an inconclusive national election in May...

Iraq held elections in May. The new president will have 15 days to task the nominee of the largest parliamentary bloc with forming a new government. The prime minister-designate will have 30 days to submit his cabinet to parliament.

I should have updated the page before I posted my last post!

not a smooth affair:

Masoud Barzani, head of the KDP, issued a statement rejecting the vote process in the Iraqi parliament.

that's better!

There's a tap open somewhere, by the looks of it.

Not to worry, at some stage it will be turned off!

Whoops, wrong kind of bar!

The pilot will come aboard to prevent any mishaps.

We're still in port - time to cast off and head out into the open.
